I was digging through what I laughingly call my “archives,” and this little painting fell out. It’s a portrait I did some years ago of our family’s childhood dog, Pimmy. He was a “Toy Terrier,” which meant he was a cross between a Jack Russell Terrier, and a beagle. Not the brightest dog in the […]

I used to know how to write CSS, and make pretty styles for text and paragraphs. Not to mention the tags for these illustrations. Haven’t done much of that for a long while! I listened to a […]
